Coca-Cola Recycling Program Helps Educate CHEP Employees

Coca-Cola Recycling LLC, a division of Coca-Cola Refreshments, visited CHEP corporate headquarters this month to reinforce the value of recycling with employees. Using their Recycling Education Vehicle, Coca-Cola Recycling helped to educate CHEP associates on the importance of recovering used bottles and cans in a fun and interactive way that includes videos, games, contests and prizes.

“We are pleased to work with CHEP, a company that holds that same vision for their products, and we’re excited to have an opportunity to talk to their employees about the good things that happen when they recycle.”

“At Coca-Cola, we envision a world where our used beverage containers are not regarded as waste, but as a valuable resource,” said John Burgess, president of Coca-Cola Recycling LLC. “We are pleased to work with CHEP, a company that holds that same vision for their products, and we’re excited to have an opportunity to talk to their employees about the good things that happen when they recycle.”

CHEP works to ensure material recovery, reuse and recycling efforts are optimized by maintaining ownership of its assets. In addition to establishing clear accountability and control once a pallet reaches its end of life. CHEP also promotes employee recycling, both at home and in the work place. Recently, thanks to the dedicated recycling efforts of the information systems team, CHEP recycled two full trailer loads of electronics out of the CHEP USA offices and Data Center.

Candice Herndon, Director, Environmental and Regulatory Affairs, CHEP Americas, said; “Part of the CHEP sustainability commitment is to partner with our employees, suppliers, customers, service providers and other key environmental stakeholders to jointly achieve the highest possible environmental standards. This event allowed one of our key customers to help our employees learn more about the importance of material recycling within a sustainable supply chain.”

Research has revealed when the minute rates are to increase, after that recycling should become more
handy. Americans are reluctant to go far to get to
a recycle box or central. Planet Aid understands this and is dedicated
to increasing the percentage regarding textiles, carrying out all we can to help protect the environment by making clothes and
footwear recycling far easier than right now.

Between its Twenty one-state services area, Planet Aid gathers roughly One
hundred million pounds of clothes each year, many of which would certainly result in a land fill or incinerator.

While we take stock of our improvement, we acknowledge the all round national
fabric recycle level stays lower, with only 15% of the countless tons produced every year getting
redirected from inefficient fingertips. These clothes are valuable sources that, within
this ages of ecological and sociable duty, should not
be thrown away (click here for more details about the worldwide demand for used
clothes). Obviously, there’s much more job to do.
